Testimonial:

“The book is great. An iconic jazz reference book has just gotten better! The Charlie Parker Omnibook, a classic tool for saxophonists and improvisers, received a needed overhaul by Michael Van Bebber. Besides catching and correcting a variety of errors, he has included the personnel at the beginning of each transcription. I have already enjoyed sharing this book with my students.”

Ted Nash, Grammy-award winning saxophonist and composer, alto saxophonist in the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (directed by Wynton Marsalis) and Juilliard professor.

Features:
– Same tunes and solos as the “Charlie Parker Omnibook.”
– Correction of over 1,000 errors contained in the original “Omnibook.”
– Easy-to-read computer notation with 4 measures per line, when possible.
– Large, legible chord symbols.
– Key signatures.
– Inclusion of trumpet parts, including counter-melodies (ossia staff) and harmonies.
– Includes additional solos and trading, when Parker took two or more solos in one tune.
– Alphabetical order, for easy location of tunes by title.
– (7) transpositions of the book: Concert Treble Clef, Guitar (8va), Eb, Bb, Bb Tenor (transposed up a Major 9th), F, and Bass Clef (8vb).
– Complete personnel and recording information for each tune listed under each title.
– Note spellings are by function: notes are spelled according to their chord tones on arpeggios and diatonic lines (except where lines are easier to read in stacks of 3rds instead of augmented 2nds, etc.), and chromatically for chromatic lines (sharps for ascending and flats for descending chromatic passages.) This makes the solos much easier to read in real-time.
– Rehearsal numbers added at the start of each chorus. This allows for easy identification of choruses, intros and sendoffs.
– 8.5 x 11” spiral-bound book, card stock front and back covers. 159 pages.
